rapb. .l-xhe most important thing that
The special session did to-day. snd in fact
,;nce it convened, was. to adjourn at G
o'clock this evening. This happy event
was pledged to the people at noon, but
"a, postponed to give the Governor a
chance to sign bills, and the result is sh own
in the review Of legislation adopted below.
The attorney general bill passed both
Houses, and the Governor named the Hon.
Thomas L. Napton, of Butte, which went
IN the Council for confirmation. Under
The school text book commission act, Gov
ernor Leslie nominated Prof. g. E..
Swallow, OF Helena, and J. A..
Never, of Deer Lodge. The latter
vas confirmed and the former was
rejected by the Council on purely partisan
grounds. There was nothing OF interest
done during the afternoon session OF either
house. save the rejection Of the nomina-
tion of Thos. L. Napton as Attorney Gem
eral, by the Council, by a party vote,
Batchelder voting with the Democrats.
Ate o. m. both houses adjourned sine die
and the three weeks OF agony is over.

Tho Anarchista.

CHICAGO, September 15.-The condemned
Anarchists spent the day much as usual,
and had the ordinary run OF visitors. The
men do not seem affected in the least by
the result Of the case as announced yester-
day. A representative OF a German paper
Of this city, the Illinois Staats Zeitung,
which hitherto has favored the execution
Of the Anarchists, came out to-day with
an editorial favoring a Communication OF
the sentence. The defense Committee is
making strenuous efforts to raise the funds
necessary to carry the case to the court of
last resort, IL it can be done. One of the
Socialist leaders went East this evening to
retain eminent counsel. It is reported
that they will try to get either Benjamin
F. Butler or Roger A. Pryor.

French Army Experiments.

PARIS, September 1O.-The mobilization
experiment necessitated the raising OF the
seventeenth army corps from 10000 to
1889 men, fully clothed. armeh and
equipped. The members Of the reserve are
of fine physique. The cavalry have good
pace, but the men lack firm seat, many
having been thrown. The officers were
somewhat bothered in handling a larger
hody of men than they were accustomed
to. The artillery movements were sluggish.
Altogether, however, the experiment in
spires confidence in the army. the southern
corps not being regarded as the best. At
the conclusion of the sham fight to-day
General Ferron conferred upon General
Clement the decoration of commander Of
the legion OF honor.

John sherman ON tho Situation.

WILMINGTON, Ohio September 16.-Sena-
tor John Sherman delivered his first speech
in the Ohio campaign before a large
audience at the fair grounds this afternoon.
Referring to the claims OF the political
organs, who are protesting against both
the great national parties, notably the
Prohibition and Labor organizations, he
said while ~ their zeal, they
ofeen~ -enmnel a mention OF just
measures, and reform they usually
succeed only in defeating the party most IN
sympathy with them. This has been the
effect and still is the tendency of the pro-
hibitory parry. Regarding the La Dor party.
he said Il there is any just and practical
measure OF public policy that will tend to
advance the interests OF labor, the Repub-
'ican party is now, and has been ready and
wiling to adopt it.

New YORK, September 14.-The directors
of the Northern Pacific Railroad met to-
day to complete preparations for the an

As to the Manifesto.

PARIS, September 15.-It is reported
that the government is preparing to reply
to the manifesto of the Count OF Paris,
explaining the policy he intends pursuing
in the coming session. The Temps, com.
menting on the manifesto, says: The doc
ument will have no diequietiug influence on
the country. 1t indicates that between
the Counts views and the Cesarian doc
trine of the empire, that monarchy can
only be restored through violent crisis and
the triumph of anarchy. The Republicans,
whose political experience continues to in
crease. will not afford monarchy that
chance.

get the great bulk Of the provincial trade.
1t is generally admitted that there will be
no yielding on the part Of the Dominion
Government, and in view OF that, the ques-
tion OF q forcible assertion OF their rights
is being again considered by the people.
From the present outlook the province
seems prepared for that emergency, but ei-
forts are being made to direct the public
idea OF obt lining redress into another
channel. It is considered an encouraging
sign Of the times that the tone Of the

state that il Manitoba does not at once
back down from her position in regard to
the Red River Valley Railway. the Federal
Government will withhold the payment OF

to cripple the Provincial Government
financially. and prevent the carrying out of
the contracts of construction and the
equipment of the railway to the boundary
line.

He il Not Likely to Resume His Official
Duties for q Month Vet.

From information received at the Navy Depart
ment II may be stated that while Secretary Whit
ney is steadily improving in health there is but
little probability OF his returning to Washington
to resume his duties as Cabinet officer before the
middle of December. The Secretary himself has
been anxious to return at an early day, but Dr.
Loomis, his physician, insisted upon a longer
period Of rest and quiet In order that the good
that has been done may not be undone by too
great hurry to get back In the traces. A gentle
man who recently saw the Secretary in New York
reports him as showing in his appearance that he
has been a sicker man than was generally sup
posed. Communications are received from the
Secretary at the Navy Department almost daily
on business matters. but the routine business IS
attended 10 entirely by Acting secretary Harmony
and the other bureau Chiefs II annual report Is
submitted by the secretary 1t Will be such q one as
can be compiled BY the Department oficials from
The contents OF communications from him received

usual, and any matters that the Secretary may
wish 10 bring before Congress for action can be
submitted 10 Congress later by special letters.

The following is copy of the Presidents letter
to Commissioner Sparks, accepting his resignation:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, November Is, 1887.
Hon. WM. A. J. SPARKS:
MY DEAR SIR: have read your letter OF resig-
nation left with me to-day, and also the commu-
nication addressed by you to the Secretary Of the
Interior accompanying the same.
In the present situation do not feel called upon
to determine the merits Of the controversy which
has arisen between the Secretary and yourself,
further than to say that my Impressions touching
the legal questions involved incline me to re.
ly, as naturally would do even If had no i'm
Presslons OF my own, upon the judgment OF the
secretary. 1t presents a case OF Interpretation
where Two perfectly honest men may well differ.
The interest you have shown In the operations
to save and protect the public lands for settlers in
good fa1th, induce me TO believe that you will be
pleased 10 receive the assurance that this policy
upon which we are all agreed, will continue to be
steadiastly pursued, limited and controlled, how
ever, by the law AMI the judgment OF the courts
by which we may be at times unwillingly re-
resist.
l desire to heartily acknowledge the value Of
your services In the improved administration Of
the Land Department which has been reached,
and 10 assure you OF my appreciation Of the rugged
and unytelding integrity which has characterized
your ofI1cial conduct
am constrained to accept the resignation you
Ieeilng toward you, and with the earnest wish
that wherever your future way OF lie may lead
complete success and satisfaction may await you.
Thanking you for the pleasing and compliment
am yours very truly,

MIR. CARLISLE AND THE TARIFF.
The Speaker Hopeful that Congress
will Pass a hill this Winter.

Speaker Carlisle is here TO stay until after the
first session OF Congress. The contest over his
seat In the House is generally looked upon as In
significant and no one will admit of doubt as TO
his being chosen speaker. He will have no oppo-
sitiOn in this. He is hopeful of passing a tariff
bill this session and has devoted considerable
energy to that end. He has had several talks
with the President since his arrival here Men,
bers are commencing to come to Wash
ington now and many have matters to discuss with
him. He has to think about the formation OF the
committees OF the House, and there are many other
matters TO occupy his attention, SO that he Will
have as much as he can do against the opening OF
the session. There Is some idea that he will be able
TO announce his committees before the holidays but
II is hardly likely that he can. The rules have TO
be adopted and there Is likely to be a fight over
them that Will take up some time Besides, hun
dred new members makes 1t difficult TO flx the
committees.
Yesterday Mr.. Carlisle was with the President
some time. speaking with a STAR reporter this
morning, he said that, OF course no one could tell
what Congress would do. He thought however
that the chances OF passing tarin bill were better
than during last Congress because the exigencies
are greater now. When asked II he thought there
was dispOs tion among the democrats TO come
together on this question, he said he thought so:
he knew nothing to the contrary.
